The other day I got my new Betta (Topaz) some frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp to supplement his diet. I like how it comes in separate cubes, that makes it more convenient for thawing. I'm wondering though, is how long will a thawed cube last in the fridge? I certainly don't want to feed him anything that is spoiled!

You should treat it like you would treat any raw meat--personally, I cut the cubes into quarters and only thaw a quarter of it at a time, that way I waste less. If I have any left over from the quarter after I'm done feeding my fish (six bettas and a 29G community tank), I just throw it out. If you only have a few bettas, you might want to cut the cube into sixths or eighths. You waste a lot less that way and you don't have to worry about whether or not the food is still good.
